Development of Intelligent Solutions for Smart Construction Applications - Feasibility Study

The Hong Kong Government is driving a systemic digital transformation across the public works sector through its “Construction Industry 2.0” initiative. In direct response to the persistent challenges of escalating construction costs and an ageing workforce, the Client is expanding the adoption of advanced technologies to enhance site supervision, safety, and productivity.

This pivotal project centres on the feasibility study and subsequent development of three primary intelligent solutions. Firstly, it will revamp the existing pilot system into “SmartEye 2.0”, a robust, 3D GIS-integrated co-supervision platform. By leveraging 4D LiDAR, Generative AI, and edge computing, this platform will automate complex supervision tasks such as structural defect checks, real-time safety risk detection, and New Engineering Contract (NEC) administration. Secondly, the project will upgrade the existing resource platform to “e-Library 2.0”, introducing AI-driven tools and an automated specification generator compatible with both General Conditions of Contract and NEC formats. Finally, it involves deploying Large Language Models (LLMs) to enhance the e-Tendering System (e-TS). This application will automatically generate structured summaries for tender submissions, significantly streamlining the evaluation process for the Tender Assessment Panel.
